Hamburg, Germany – a gateway to the world. Known for its shipping port and history as a center of international trade and law, Hamburg has long been a city that connects nations. Centuries ago, its merchants were central to the Hanseatic League, one of the first trade alliances with unified commercial laws and its own jurisdiction.

Since 2009, Hamburg has hosted the Hamburg Pre-Moot, welcoming participants of the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot (Vis Moot). Recognized as one of Europe’s leading Pre-Moots, it plays an important role in preparing teams for the global competition.

Teams from countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, New Zealand, Paraguay, Poland, Serbia, Switzerland, Sweden, and the United States have attended, sharing strategies, arguments, and perspectives.

The Hamburg Pre-Moot is known for its strong support from law firms and the expertise of its arbitrators. These include lawyers from participating firms, members of the Hanseatic Arbitration Circle, and external professionals who contribute their insights.

With its balance of professionalism and a welcoming environment, the CAM-CCBC Hamburg Pre-Moot is a valuable step for teams, coaches, and arbitrators on their Vis Moot journey.

We look forward to seeing you and your team in Hamburg!
